The Suzuki type XR14/RG500 debuted in the 1974 French Grand Prix at Clermont Ferrand. At that time it was not yet fully fleshed out, so development work continued during the following winter break. The most striking feature of the XR14 is the so-called "square four"-engine, basically consisting of two in-line twins coupled together, which was employed for the first time on this bike.

The RG500 Gamma was a motorcycle built by Suzuki between 1985 and 1989 and inspired by the RG Gamma Grand Prix racer of the 1970s, capitalizing on Suzuki's seven consecutive wins in the 500cc-class. The Gamma was powered by a four-cylinder two-stroke square engine displacing 500 cubic centimeters.
